This site holds the 14 portfolios which will be integrated together to provide Michigan Tech with a comprehensive strategic plan. For the development of these portfolios, unit directors were instructed to seek input from all constituences under their direction and to seek input from other areas of common interest. Townhall meetings were held and will be held again to ensure input from sources. The most recent draft incorporates suggestions made at the March 8th Board of Control retreat, comments from the townhall meetings, and comments from the National Advisory Board meeting on May 1st.
